• Crows are very social birds and will hardly be found alone. Crows stick together in the winter and will have been known to stay in one are for well over 100 years causing mess problems in urban areas where people dwell.
• Crows will eat anything: insects, earthworms, garbage, pet food, and roadkill…small turtles, fish, and clams. They are considered omnivores and will also eat small nestlings such as sparrows, chickens, jays, robins, and loons to name a few.
• Female and male crows build nests together and hide then near the bottom of a tree trunk. Made with twigs, pine needles, weeds, and soft bark from trees; nests are large approximately6-20 inches across and 4-16 inches deep. Eggs are grayish blue and have little spots of grey and brown.
